當教會被提後，整個世界便會變得更加混亂。廣泛的政治和金融不穩定便會是常態。在這樣可怕的時代，人將拼命尋找一位強大的領袖來團結分裂的國家，期望提他能提供解決方案和穩定。在這樣的時代，撒但會把他的同謀帶到世界舞臺上。當時機合適時，敵基督將自稱為神，並對整個世界行使權威。在魔鬼的授權下，在政治、宗教和經濟上，敵基督將會統治世界（啟示錄13：4–5，15–18）。我們生活在一個混亂的世界裡；政治世界很混亂，金融世界也是如此；再者，宗教世界亦是處於混亂之中。你能看到這些不穩定已為敵基督的出現奠定了基礎嗎？
After the rapture of the church, the whole world will become more chaotic. Widespread political and financial instability will be the norm. In such fearful times, people will desperately seek for a powerful leader to unite divided nations, to provide solutions and security. In times such as this, Satan will bring his conspirator to the world stage. When the time is right, the Antichrist will claim divinity and exercise authority over the entire world. Being empowered by the Devil, the Antichrist will rule over the world politically, religiously, and economically (Revelation 13:4–5, 15–18). We are living in a chaotic world. The political world is chaotic, and the financial world is the same. Additionally, the religious world is in chaos. Can you see the stage is set for the appearance of the Antichrist?
世上到處都是憤怒的人。有些人很容易對家人生氣。許多下屬害怕脾氣暴躁的老闆突然發怒。某些政治家以憤怒的神態和大聲責罵而聞名。一些脾氣暴躁的政客不但沒有制定富有成效的政策，也沒有為選民創造一個更安全的環境，而卻花大部分時間遷怒於對手，從而激起支持者發表憤怒的言論和行為。
The world is full of angry people. Some individuals get angry easily with their family members. Many subordinates are scared of their angry bosses’ sudden outburst of rage. Certain politicians are simply well known for their angry demeanour and rants. Instead of making productive policies and creating a safer environment for their constituents, some ill-tempered political leaders spend most of their time lashing out their anger at their opponents, thus provoking their supporters into angry remarks and behaviour.
獨裁者認為他們非常強大，但與將出現在政治舞臺上最強大的獨裁者相比，他們只不過是小人物。在人類歷史上，最強大的獨裁者是敵基督。他是撒但的幫兇，也是魔鬼邪惡計劃的主要行兇者。撒但有另一個幫手，那就是假先知。在假先知的幫助下（啟示錄16：13），敵基督將擁有絕對的權力（啟示錄13：11-18）。透過施行神蹟和異能，假先知便能夠說服全世界來接受敵基督是他們一直尋找的領袖。 假先知從在那裡獲得他的超自然力量呢？ 這絕對是來自魔鬼。
Autocrats think they are very powerful, but compared with the most powerful dictator who will appear on the political arena, they are just small potatoes. The most powerful dictator in human history is the Antichrist. He is an accomplice of Satan, and the chief perpetrator of the Devil’s evil scheme. Satan has another helper, that is, the false prophet. With the assistance of the false prophet (Revelation 16:13), the Antichrist will rise to absolute power (Revelation 13:11-18).
